15 Tips for a Better Cat Sitter
By Olaf O.
There will be times in your life when you have to leave home, and you can’t always take your cat with you, no matter how well behaved he or she may be. If you have to travel out of town, it is important to make sure that your cat’s health will be in good hands while you are gone. For this job, you’ll need a cat sitter. When hiring a cat sitter, make sure that you leave him or her with good information about your cats so that you can rest assured that they are safe and healthy. In the best-case scenario, your cat sitter will be someone that you already know. Neighborhood teens make good cat sitters, as do relatives. You can also call a pet sitting company if you don’t have anyone else in mind. Whoever takes care of your cats, make sure that they are trustworthy and responsible to show up at your house every single day at the correct times. If you have more than one cat or other pets, or if you will be gone for over a week, it may be a good idea to have someone you know house sit and stay in your home for the duration of your absence. Before you leave, create an easy-to-read sheet of important information. Start by listing your cats—include their names, fur color, special diet and medication, likes and dislikes, and favorite hiding place. You should also include step-by-step detailed instructions for cat care and the phone number to call you or your vet. Make sure that everything needed to care for your cat is out in the open and easy to use. For example, do not forget to leave a can opener handy for your cat sitter! If any of your cats fall ill or are injured, your cat sitter will need to call a vet and possibly even take your pet to the vet’s surgery. Have the phone number in an easy-to-locate place and leave cat carriers by the door. Also make sure that all cleaning supplies are easy for your cat sitter to find, including cat litter box materials. If any of your cats need vet care, bills will of course have to be paid. Leave a $20 bill (or more if you’ll be gone longer) for the cat sitter to use specifically if a cat requires medical attention. Beyond that, call your vet to alert him or her that you will be out of town. Provide your vet with your credit card number, the phone number where you can be reached, and the name of your cat sitter, with the assertion that he or she will act on your behalf until you return home. Doing this will help keep your cat safe, healthy, and happy even while you are away. |
